No im still here! GAS still persists but all the boring stuff is robbing me blind.

I'm still in! I haven't been on here for a good while. I think the two may be linked...

Black Friday is the final, big hurdle that might see a number of fallers. I’m wavering on a full, level 1 fail (‘Ray GAS for a change), but I may just avoid it by doing some bass surgery with parts I have in my bits and pieces case.

Remember too Black Friday bargains are usually just stuff the retailers can't get rid of, or that they've discounted previously anyway.

I had a birthday present for my daughter in a 'basket'.

Today I got an email with a 15% discount instead of the 7.5% I'd already found.

You got your daughter a meal out from the 1970's?  🐔

Are you saying that it’s not done out of boundless generosity and a spirit of helping the great unwashed in difficult times? 🤷

This isn't for me. I'm still attending my GAS therapy sessions. My Counsellor reports I'm a hopeless case !😂😂

Of course it is.

I am not tiny! 

 

I am still in. Truss rod adjusted last month - seems the saddles are at the lowest they'll go. Still plays well.
